Sadly the exciting news will be delayed since I haven't been around much all week, and I want to chat to Edger one more time before announcing it. Well, I call it 'exciting news' but it's only exciting for Edger and myself, I guess... lol I don't want to hype it up or anything.

Progress is still being made, just very slowly due to all the real life stuff going on at the moment. There's only two files of the common route left though :P

Well you see, if someone were to pay KEY 1 million USD to localize a title, that would be 1 million USD not going towards the starving African children or women's equal rights or whatever the fuck.

And then Equality Now and co. will get all butthurt and spend multiple times more money in a holy crusade against the evil eroge industry, eventually ending with the destruction of all things eroge.

tl;dr trolls trolling trolls.

LOL, you obviously have very precise information about profitability of licensed titles.

But every title has been profitable for Jast. Although that takes time. Not that I care either way now that I know enough moon to navigate DLsite.

There's no website, but you can keep track of the project from the VNTLS.

Nope, Edger's been in Shanghai over the last month, so no progress has been made translation-wise. Also there'll be some exciting news over the weekend, so look forward to it! (No nothing's been licensed, don't worry...)
